**dicey** , it sounds like you use my mother’s recipe for making chocolate pudding. 🙂 Every few years, I make some that way too. It’s also good as pie filling.

**nut** , I heathenated last Sunday and last evening, had a Zoom Yule with the gang. Solstice is tomorrow and there will be a bonfire in the 'Boro for any who wish to attend. Unforturnately, it’s a work night at the end of the month / year and I will be irking stupid early to stupid late. ☹

Up, still caffeinating, got the laundry folded and put away, the buzzer on the dryer just went off, meaning the towels are done. There’s a kinda-sorta hunter’s stew in the crock (I had to pull a package of boneless country poke ribs when I did the tetris to put the ice cream in). I’ll add kale and noodles closer to serving time. KP is done (for now) and once the usual Sunday chores are finished, I’ll practice some serious sloth.

I’ll be glad when I can start knocking off irk after lunch on Fridays. I get so much done that I can actually enjoy my whole weekend.

Stay safe and healthy y’all!

> Uniform regulations do, though. I was attending a Navy class – an informal affair with us all seated in a circle – and had my legs crossed, which meant that my pant leg was hiked up above the top of my boot. We were discussing something when suddenly the girl across the circle from me started laughing. Everyone stopped and looked at her, and she pointed at me and said, “I’m sorry – I just realised he’s wearing purple socks.” (They were actually very faded blue socks.)

Back in my AT2 days, I worked mids. One of the married guys would dress in the dark so as not to wake his wife, and he showed up to the shop wearing pink socks! Yes, he got a royal ration for that. And I don’t think he deliberately bought pink socks - I’m guessing they were white washed with something red.

My older brother was a U.S. Marine. If he had a few drinks, a cannon could go off next to his head and not wake him. He also had to get out of the house early. One night his wife painted his toenails. He did not notice until he was in the showers with his platoon after training…

Thanks for the wishes. I’m limiting myself to 15 minutes per session, two sessions per day. I’ve also dimmed my screen somewhat. So far, no recurrences.

The hunter’s stew is good.

Playing around with some sketches in the studio to make some cards. Once that’s done, more surfing and watching TV. Such an exciting life. 😛

All of those in my house are less than four years old. PWAISDN is my Partner Without An Interesting Straight Dope Name, so it’s not like anyone’s paying me for it, although it’s rumored that his housemate may show appreciation on Christmas Day.

Confused? My partner lives with his former partner in his grandmother’s house.
